Tips on Writing Results for a Scientific Paper
At some point, most statistics students must learn how to communicate scientific findings. It is hoped that they are already comfortable with the formulaic structure of a scientific article: introduction, methods, results, and conclusion. The scientific community dictates this gross structure because it allows readers to immediately begin understanding the content, without first having to understand the paper’s organization. Little flexibility is allowed in the organization; however, there are fewer conventions below the structural outline, and students should recognize they have some latitude and adopt a style that improves the quality of their manuscripts.
